Pogba takes a jibe at Mourinho’s style of football

Manchester United midfielder and World cup winner, Paul Pogba, has criticized his former manager, Jose Mourinho, for the style of football they played.

Mourinho was axed by the club’s board in December, after a 3-1 defeat at Liverpool.

Before the former Chelsea boss was sacked at Old Trafford, the Portuguese had a fall out with a number of key players including Pogba, who was an unusued substitute at Anfield in his last match. 

However, the Manchester United academy product has found a new lease of life under the leadership of interim manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and is enjoying his football again.

As United defeat Spurs on Sunday, Pogba provided the assist for the only goal scored by Marcus Rashford.

In the mixed zone at Wembley, Pogba said: “Everything comes well when you feel free, when you have the trust of the manager and players.”

“The team has helped me. We all enjoy playing football.”

“I would say I’m enjoying playing football. It was really difficult with the system we used to play.”

“We attack and this is the position where I feel most comfortable.”

When questioned about his forward runs, Pogba said: “This is what the manager told me to do, he told me to get into the box. The best example for me is Frank Lampard.”
